In February 2025, the USA experienced a notable increase in job vacancies, rising by 4.43% compared to January, distinguishing itself as one of the few leading economies to report growth. It holds a significant 40% share in the Robert Walters Global Jobs Index. While the global trend shows an overall decline in job opportunities, the UK also saw a rise due to a stable financial sector. CEO Toby Fowlston noted these figures may reflect the influence of recent economic policies, although the reasons behind this growth require further analysis in the coming months.
These are some of the first sets of figures to indicate a small uptick in hiring pace as economic policies under the Trump administration begin to show possible signs of influencing business sentiment across certain industries.
Globally, February saw a -8.29% decline in professional (white-collar) job vacancies across all industries.
